  • Assessment of short reports using a human rights-based approach to tobacco control to the Commitee on Economics, Cultural and Social Rights

    Carolyn Dresler, Kirsten Henry et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2017

    This was not a controlled study and the 28.9% 'success rate' for impacting the Concluding Observations, although encouraging, is less than optimal-and leaves room for improvement. The higher rate of tobacco mentions for the cases where the HRTCN short reports were submitted provides preliminary indications that the short reports may have potential to increase the state focus on tobacco control. Future work will seek to improve the design and scop…

  • Integrating tobacco treatment into thoracic oncology settings

    Open AccessSandra J Japuntich, Christina M Luberto et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2016References: 29

    Clinical practice guidelines recommend tobacco treatment for all cancer patients. However, little is known about how to integrate tobacco treatment into cancer care. The results of our pilot study of an evidence-based tobacco treatment integrated into a thoracic oncology clinic demonstrated good feasibility and efficacy, providing an opportunity to inform future tobacco treatment integration efforts. Here, we describe the process of intervention …

  • Human rights-based approach to tobacco control

    Carolyn Dresler, Harry A Lando et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2012

    The Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC) is currently the most potent tool for implementation of tobacco control laws across the globe. The FCTC is derivative from previously constructed international human rights conventions. These previous conventions have enforcement mechanisms, unlike the FCTC. However, the FCTC relies on state parties to report periodically on its implementation rather than on a continuous monitoring system. The H…

    Open AccessDebora L Oh, Julia E Heck et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    In all five participating countries, friends were the primary factor influencing ever smoking, especially among younger women. The majority of participants began smoking in adolescence and the average reported age of smoking initiation was youngest in Sweden and oldest in the Czech Republic

  • Mandated lowering of toxicants in cigarette smoke

    David Burns, D M Burns et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2008

    Preventing initiation of tobacco product use, promoting cessation of tobacco use, and protecting the public from exposure to second hand smoke are recognised by the World Health organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and by the WHO Study Group on Tobacco Product Regulation (TobReg) as the most effective approaches to reducing tobacco related morbidity and mortality. However, the FCTC also recognises the need for tobacco…

  • A 32-country comparison of tobacco smoke derived particle levels in indoor public places

    Andrew Hyland, Mark J Travers et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2008

    Levels of indoor fine particle air pollution in places where smoking is observed are typically greater than levels that the World Health Organization and US Environmental Protection Agency have concluded are harmful to human health
